[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a divorced woman, my ex-husband cheated on me. Here’s my take.

Since middle school I’ve known I’m bisexual. As a teen and a young woman, I sought relationships with women. I understand why gays and lesbians keep us bi’s at arm’s length - we have the relative luxury of being able to “hide” behind the security of a hetero relationship.

Dating women was difficult. I remember making out with a girl on a date  and having a man ask if he could watch, then hit on my date. It’s apples and oranges. There’s an immediate respectability you feel as a half of a straight couple that’s just not afforded when you’re part of a gay couple. That is the society we live in, period.

Did this man handle the situation as best he could? Probably not. Are there real and serious challenges facing gay people in our society today? No question. He did his best every step of the way. I’m sure his ex is hurt,  but he hurt for decades of his life. He loves his sons and he’s trying to be true to himself while honoring his responsibility as a dad. [/quote]

We all face challenges and how they deal with them is a reflection of their character.  My ex chose deceit and that part her did not miraculously change after she came out.
